  1. So many floating ads in the first link by Sowelu · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I don't think I've seen so many floating ads in a theoretically-legitimate site before. When I opened it, it grayed out the window and popped up trying to get me to fill out something...scrolling around, the mouse runs into these little green underlined words that pops up an ad thing you have to click to close...and after about twenty seconds, another floating window scrolled down the screen and parked in the middle.

    That's a little too much cruft for me. They can keep their content, I don't want it.
